Abstract
An adhesive composition for surgical use including an α-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition with a polymer characteristic for biodegrading and bioabsorbing the adhesive into the body of a living organism. It is preferred that the polymer is a co-polymer of DL-lactic acid and ε-caprolactone or a co-polymer of DL-lactic acid, ethylene glycol and ε-caprolactone, or a co-polymer of ethylene glycol and ε-caprolactone.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat we claim is:
1. An adhesive composition comprising an α-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition and a co-polymer of ethylene glycol and ε-caprolactone, the weight-average molecular weight of the co-polymer ranging from 10,000 to 200,000, and the adhesive composition of said α-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition and said co-polymer being biodegradable and bioabsorbable into a body of a living organism.
2. An adhesive composition comprising an α-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition and a co-polymer of DL-lactic acid, ethylene glycol and ε-caprolactone, the adhesive composition of said α-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition and said co-polymer being biodegradable and bioabsorbable into a body of a living organism.
3. An adhesive composition comprising an α-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition and a co-polymer of ethylene glycol and ε-caprolactone, the adhesive composition of said α-cyanoacrylate adhesive composition and said co-polymer being biodegradable and bioabsorbable into a body of a living organism.
4. The composition of claim 2 wherein the weight average molecular weight of said co-polymer is within the range of from 10,000 to 200,000.Cited by (0)
